Beautiful location and stunning views, although quite tricky to get up the drive, especially in a large vehicle! Cottage is a good size, easily accommodating 8 people. Note that if you stay in the annex you do need to go outside to get to the shower room/toilet.

The outside veranda is lovely and enabled us to sit outside, even when it was raining. Hide
